Mammoth Lakes Trip - Day 1 - Part 2


So, remember the big mountain of rocks from the last post?  Yeah.  Well, we climbed all the way up.  Holy cow.  And when you got up and over, there was this...Duck Lake.  We had reached our destination!





I assume the trail went down to the lake?  We didn't follow it any further.  We stopped at the top, rested and enjoyed the view. :)


There was a different trail that you could take as well to a smaller lake - Pika Lake.  You can see it behind Duck Lake.
When we go back sometime, we will have to make that a goal as well.


That whole hike was worth this!


Refueling with an apple, peanut butter and a couple sticks of beef jerky.  I could have stayed there all day.

Then we headed back.  Just about 10 miles for that hike with elevation gain of 2,631 ft.  Whew!


We stayed at the Mammoth Mountain Inn.


The top of those mountains would be where the wedding would be!
This was the view from our room.


We ended the day with dinner at the Pita Pit.
Yum!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
